ppphhhttt's Journal, 12 September 2012

I lost 2 more lbs and I have a theory for each one of them...someone placed an evil elfin magical spell on me so that I will lose weight in the most uncomfortable of manners...sweating all freakin night....OR....I was randomly picked to be the subject of an evil viral infection that you slowly waste away in pools of sweat.

Warning...gross sweat talk again. I don't like it, but it's my life right now.

I felt fine when I went to bed a little chilly, but the temps have dropped around here. No biggie. Go to sleep like normal, a sheet and a throw cover over me. I got warm and fell asleep. Woke up within 20 minutes with my head and back soaked. So much for cleaning the linens before going to bed. >:-(

That's how it went all night. Wake up sweating, kick off the covers and start to freeze cause I'm soaked, cover back up and say screw it so I can warm back up. I even woke up once cause I had so much sweat in my ear it felt like I was underwater. WTF?? Anyone ever heard of something like this? Is it just a virus taking it's time to get the hell out of me?? I can't stand waking up sticky from dried sweat. I have never had a virus that did this over this long of a period.

And on top of it, my ribs and throat are so sore from coughing up infection. If I don't hear from the doc's office by lunch today, I'm calling again. I know they can't treat a virus, but the infection they can, and it's not doing me any good at this point.

I'll take the 2 extra lbs gone, but am leery about how long they will stay gone. I have been drinking my fluids. Perhaps not enough. But I'm not tired from dehydration, I'm body is tired from being sick.

Good thing this isn't a face-to-face group or we could all be sweating the nights away now!! Hope all of you have continued good health and that your spirits are lifted.

I hope that you feel better soon. Continue the fluids and the sweating is the bodies response to the infection. Please make sure you call the doctor again and tell them exactly what is happening. Do whatever you can to get your healthy, happy self back.. HUGZ (with a mask and gloves) lol just kidding.

Doc's office called back. Nurse said he doesn't like to give antibiotics until 5-7 days after...I guess to see if it runs it's course. And that is why I chose this doctor, cause he doesn't want to pump you full of drugs and cares about healthy choices and progress...which was great at my old job when I had 22 PTO days a year. Now I accrue 8 days a year and I burned my first 2 as soon as I got them for nephew's graduation. So I either take days of without pay or sit at work miserable. Today wasn't so bad. It is working it's way out of my chest, but it would be nice to be able to 'really' cough instead of worrying about the noise I'm making or who is hating me for coming to work sick. I heard a LOT of people coughing today. Don't know if I noticed cause I'm sick, or if I made them sick. Once these night sweats are over, I should be good to go. They did say call back Friday if no better.
